Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
It all started late on a Saturday night
Say who got the spliffs and who's got the pint
Looked out the window said to my surprise
Here comes a man in blue with his flashin' lights
He said "you know your party's fuckin' over with
Because your smokin' blunts and your rollin'
Spliffs
And what you think I ought a think of this
Why don't you pull out your sack or you'll be missed
Say now mr. officer come charge me all the time
You got me for possession but I swear that it's not mine
No matter what you do or say its bound to come right back this way so if you want a moments please say this is what you'll say comon'an'
Let's get this party started until the break of
Dawn'an
Lets get this party movin until there's no one
Home an'
Lets get this party started until the break of dawn an'
Lets get this party movin
All you've got to do is sing
(CHORUS)
Can't take the pressure for long
All we want to do is rock till after 2
Gettin high when they singin this song
Snap another be then drink another Brew
(x2)
Common'
And at the road block me so sorry mr. cop
I bet you anything me gonna get stopped
And at the road block me so sorry mr. cop
I bet you anyting me gonna get stopped
And I say "hey mr. officer why you stoppin me nana
I wasn't driven the car badly
Don't' lock me up cause I smoke sensei
Yes, this is the ghetto but me live cross the sea
Hey mr. officer come charge me all the time
You got me for possession but I swear that it's not mine
No matter what you do or say I bound to come right back this way
And if you want a moments please this is what you'll say come on an'
Let's get this party started until the break of dawn an'
Let's get this party movin until there's no one home an'
Let's get this party started until the break of dawn an'
Let's get this party movin'
All you got to do is sing
Can't take the pressure for long
All we want to do is rock till after 2
Gettin high when the singin' this song

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Man this song is about just fucking having fun and living it up. Its also about how the law can fuck all that up and ruin you good time. But yeah its about rocking and partying livin it up. Slightly Stoopid is amazing no words to describe them really
